It aims to provide a risk assessment strategy and aspects to consider when evaluating whether an essential medicine can be manufactured locally in low- and middle-income countries with relatively limited pharmaceutical manufacturing capability and experience. This concept paper is part of the work that WHO is initiating, in collaboration with UNIDO, to promote quality local production of medicines in developing countries. The paper is intended to be developed into a joint document which provides guidance to manufacturers, regulatory officials and policy makers on how to minimize risk in manufacturing operations by selecting appropriate essential medicines for production in accordance with existing levels of GMP compliance, and how to tailor technical assistance to implement this approach, with the ultimate goal to eventually achieve local production of medicines by fully GMP-compliant manufacturers in developing countries. A second concept paper on Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) road mapping is being prepared by UNIDO and will also be published in this journal for comments. Comments and suggestions on this paper are invited to facilitate further discussion. They should be sent to [email protected]. Introduction Background A number of papers have been published that discuss the manufacturing of medicinal products in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in various contexts. These include the diseases to be treated, capacity building, access to medicines, cost, skills, training, job creation, intellectual property rights, transfer of technology, government incentives, and advantages and disadvantages (e.g 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). At the African Union Conference of Ministers of Health, held in Johannesburg in April 2007 (6), a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plan for Africa was proposed: “This plan of action is being presented in phases to allow intense assessment of the feasibility and modality of local manufacturing of medicines in Africa.” The paper further suggested that “the plan must investigate and suggest criteria for determining what is to be produced.” One of the conclusions of this proposal stated: “Local production can be successfully done in the continent. However, there is need for the African countries to reassess the realities, possibilities and the feasibility of the programme so that it moves from being a political slogan to a reality after good ground work. The time needed to do thorough scientific analyses in the continent, together with WHO and other bodies that can add value, is certainly longer than two years.” Often an assessment of what is to be produced focuses on the diseases to be treated, with little attention to the level of technology involved with respect to the development and manufacture of pharmaceutical products in LMICs. The technology level does not only Pre-publication draft - page numbers are not for citation purposes 3 Concept paper for comment WHO Drug Information Vol. 30, No. 1, 2016 affect the feasibility of the manufacturing process, including packaging and quality control testing, but also the overall quality assurance system of the manufacturer, as well as the capacity of the local national medicines regulatory authority (NMRA) to effectively assess the resultant dossier, to conduct inspections and to regulate life cycle variations. These activities by manufacturer and NMRA are essential to ensure that the patient is getting medicines of acceptable safety, efficacy and quality, according to WHO standards as set out in WHO guidelines. It is thus appropriate to consider the level of manufacturing technology in conjunction with the risk associated with the product itself, including the ingredients and the type of manufacture when selecting products

  • Predictive QSAR Tools to Aid in Early Process Development of Monoclonal Antibodies
    Predictive QSAR tools to aid in early process development of monoclonal antibodies John Micael Andreas Karlberg Published work submitted to Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Engineering November 2019 Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become one of the fastest growing markets for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments over the last 30 years with a global sales revenue around $89 billion reported in 2017. A popular framework widely used in pharmaceutical industries for designing manufacturing processes for mAbs is Quality by Design (QbD) due to providing a structured and systematic approach in investigation and screening process parameters that might influence the product quality. However, due to the large number of product quality attributes (CQAs) and process parameters that exist in an mAb process platform, extensive investigation is needed to characterise their impact on the product quality which makes the process development costly and time consuming. There is thus an urgent need for methods and tools that can be used for early risk-based selection of critical product properties and process factors to reduce the number of potential factors that have to be investigated, thereby aiding in speeding up the process development and reduce costs. In this study, a framework for predictive model development based on Quantitative Structure- Activity Relationship (QSAR) modelling was developed to link structural features and properties of mAbs to Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) retention times and expressed mAb yield from HEK cells. Model development was based on a structured approach for incremental model refinement and evaluation that aided in increasing model performance until becoming acceptable in accordance to the OECD guidelines for QSAR models.

  • Advances and Limitations of Antibody Drug Conjugates for Cancer
    biomedicines Review Advances and Limitations of Antibody Drug Conjugates for Cancer Candice Maria Mckertish and Veysel Kayser * Sydney School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-2-9351-3391 Abstract: The popularity of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) has increased in recent years, mainly due to their unrivalled efficacy and specificity over chemotherapy agents. The success of the ADC is partly based on the stability and successful cleavage of selective linkers for the delivery of the payload. The current research focuses on overcoming intrinsic shortcomings that impact the successful devel- opment of ADCs. This review summarizes marketed and recently approved ADCs, compares the features of various linker designs and payloads commonly used for ADC conjugation, and outlines cancer specific ADCs that are currently in late-stage clinical trials for the treatment of cancer. In addition, it addresses the issues surrounding drug resistance and strategies to overcome resistance, the impact of a narrow therapeutic index on treatment outcomes, the impact of drug–antibody ratio (DAR) and hydrophobicity on ADC clearance and protein aggregation.

  • 2018-2019 Targeted Medication Safety Best Practices for Hospitals
    2018-2019 Targeted Medication Safety Best Practices for Hospitals The purpose of the Targeted Medication Safety Best Practices for Hospitals is to identify, inspire, and mobilize widespread, national adoption of consensus-based best practices for specific medication safety issues that continue to cause fatal and harmful errors in patients, despite repeated warnings in ISMP publications. Hospitals can focus their medication safety efforts over the next 2 years on these best practices, which are realistic and have been successfully adopted by numerous organizations. While targeted for the hospital-based setting, some best practices may be applicable to other healthcare settings. The Targeted Medication Safety Best Practices for Hospitals have been reviewed by an external expert advisory panel and approved by the ISMP Board of Trustees. Related issues of the ISMP Medication Safety Alert! are referenced after each best practice. ISMP encourages hospitals that have not implemented the 2016-2017 Targeted Medication Safety Best Practices for Hospitals to do so as a priority, while implementing the 2018-2019 best practices. Organizations need to focus on previous best practices 2, 3, 9 and 11 since these have the lowest implementation rate. Two of the 2016-2017 Targeted Medication Safety Best Practices for Hospitals (number 4 and 7) have been revised for 2018-2019. Best practices number 12 through 14 are new for 2018-2019. www.ismp.org BEST PRACTICE 1: Dispense vinCRIStine (and other vinca alkaloids) in a minibag of a compatible solution and not in a syringe. Rationale: Related ISMP Medication The goal of this best practice is to ensure that vinca alkaloids are Safety Alerts!: administered by the intravenous route only.
